Senators press Pence over coronavirus response in private briefing

Senators on Tuesday pressed Vice President Pence in a closed-door meeting over the administration's response to coronavirus, particularly expressing concerns with a lack of testing.

Democratic senators, in particular, asked sharp questions of Pence and administration health officials during a visit to their lunch meeting to discuss the spreading virus.

Some Republican senators, in addition, said they shared growing concerns among Democrats and experts that there are not enough tests being made available, hindering the ability of officials to know how widespread the virus is within the United States.

FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn told GOP senators, repeating his public comments, that up to a million tests will be available by the end of the week. But some senators, as well as some public health experts, have expressed skepticism of that total.

Trump administration? Even the scientists are now questionable due the number of past incidents where they were corrupted and buckled under pressure from Trump and his minions to parrot his BS propaganda.

This will made it even even harder for the front line people who are left without reliable guidelines and a shortage of basic equipment.
